The Yankees have three games remaining on their current homestand that ends Thursday against the Texas Rangers. Jeter hopes to reach the 3,000-hit mark at Yankee Stadium, but it remains to be seen how long the injury will keep him out of the lineup. After Thursday, the Yankees depart on a six-game trip -- three games against the Chicago Cubs, followed by three games against the Cincinnati Reds.

"It's unfortunate, because the fans here were really looking forward to him getting 3,000 at home," first baseman Mark Teixeira said, according to the New York Daily News. "We were all, too."
